The Airline Career Program by Atlantis is unique in that we guarantee, in writing, placement at a flight school that will allow you to comfortably, efficiently and quickly earn the hours required to advance to Stage 3.
Stage 3 - Start your airline career
Once you have earned 1,500 flight hours, you are eligible to complete your Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license, which is included in the Airline Career Program. You are ready to join the elite group of Atlantis aviators at regional and mainline airlines in the US. We are so confident in our program that we offer a written guarantee of placement at a regional US airline upon completion of the Airline Career Program.
